( 16 June 2022 ) Fiiiiinally got this
girl together! She’s been in progress forever. I got a second Minifee
Soony head last summer because I really wanted to do up a darker-skinned
Soony. I went through a few bodies before deciding that I liked this
one best. It’s the Dream Valley B4-11 body in the limited Chocolate
resin (although from what I saw, some people got a much lighter color
for chocolate =( ). The body has a super long neck with a flare at the
top, so I found that she looked best without the Minifee neck piece. I
was able to use a neck donut from @peachdaydreams
to attach the head (pic in the carousel if you wanted to see how it
works). I also used a kip to pad things. The only downside is that the
neck donut keeps knocking her eye out of place, haha. Her face is
airbrushed and I’m honestly really proud of how much better this attempt
went than my past attempts. Her wig is too big and that makes me sad
but other than that I’m really happy with her!

Airbrushed Minifee Soony on Dream Valley body WIP shots! (March/April 2022) My airbrush was exceptionally well-behaved for this one.

This DV body B4-11 was the darker event color (Coffee) from August 2021. Different people got very different colors out of that event. Mine is pretty dark, more similar to Iplehouse’s light brown than the tan shades I saw some other people receive. That’s why I took the comparison photo.

Resin comparison: Rosenlied WS, Dream Valley white, Resinsoul NS, Fairyland NS (2020), Dream Valley Yellow (2021), Fairyland Tan (~2016 and greened), Serenade Doll Tan (older, environmental resin… bought some parts from them in 2022 and they were the same color but opaque?), Dream Valley Coffee (2022), Iplehouse Light Brown

I got Sleeping Soony’s DD1 body all cleaned up and restrung. Did you know DD1 bodies were strung? I didn’t, haha. She can stand now! Part of me wants to put her on the other Delf/Feeple60 parts hybrid body that I have Megu on, since it would match her head perfectly, but she’s had this body for so long that I feel like it’s really hers, haha. I like the attitude she has on it. I’ll have to match the color when I do her faceup.

I finally got a chance to seal the faceup layer on LTF Soony so that she could be put back together! In between I decided that I wanted her to be a little taller so I picked up this Dollzone Mini Jing body and fullset, which is SUPER cute and the yellow resin is actually a great match. I just had to flip one of the magnets in the ears to work with the LTF headback’s magnets. I did somehow mess up her upper liner in the process of sealing the faceup layer? Just the upper liner, very odd. I’ll have to paint over it.

Someone on DoA was asking about MSD hybrids so I snapped some pictures of my MSD Schulze (which has eyes modded smaller, and is from 2005 according to the headplate) on a bunch of bodies. I threw the DV girl body in there just because I had it around and undressed, haha.

Dream Valley B4-02 girl body in yellow with Doll Chateau hands (the foot is somewhere else): Super bobbleheaded but would probably look cute with the more anime-looking heads honestly. The body is in the right color family but lighter. A newer head might be closer.

Dream Valley B4-04 51cm boy body in white skin / WS (mine is using a Dollshe hand as well): Very obviously not a resin match to Volks NS/pureskin. Actually looks good proportionally if you want a very tall doll.

On Fairyland Minifee / MNF old A-line boy body in NS (from 2007-2008): Good resin match, but the head looks pretty big. The neck is thin for my taste. Newer FL NS will not match like this… the color is different after 2012 or so.

On Souldoll Soulkid NL boy body in NS (mine has modded hips/thighs): Souldoll NS is very light and pink and doesn’t match Volks at all. Also this particular body poses horribly (hence the mods). The proportions are quite nice though since it’s a bigger body.

On Akagidoll 47cm boy body in NS (mine has Resinsoul hands right now): This one is my first choice. The color is a little darker than my head actually, but it looks good with the faceup. Great proportions, like a taller version of the original measurements. Also it’s just a really solid inexpensive body that poses really well.

Oops I almost missed this girl! So, I had the old F60 body with Delf limbs (Soony’s leftovers hybrid) and wanted a head to pair up with my Soony. I thought over a lot of options and actually picked up an old Elfdoll Soah head originally, but I found that I didn’t like how she looked with big ol’ 9-inch-head, 20mm-eye-wearing Soony. In my heart I knew the sculpt I had in mind was a Volks 4 Sisters. I ended up picking up a whole Megu from Dollyteria because she cost pretty close to what I’ve seen the heads go for on DoA. She’s a lovely mold I always liked, but she’s also a particularly good scale/style match for Soony. I’m going for a sweet frail goth/scary angel handmaiden kinda vibe with the two of them but I’m still trying to pin them both down.

I haven’t done too much with her since she arrived, besides sueding and styling… she has a Volks faceup, so she hasn’t been at the top of the queue, although I don’t like the faceup.
